Fleet Foxes - Blue Ridge Mountains
Light up with me my dear,
Light up.
Under stormy night, tell nobody.
My brother where do you intend to go tonight?
I heard that you missed your connecting flight,
to the blue ridge mountains, over near Tennessee.
You're ever welcome with me any time you like,
Let's drive to the country side, leave behind some green-eyed look-a-likes,
So no one gets worried, no.
So no one gets worried, no.
But Sean don't get callous,
I'm sure it'll be fine.
I love you, I love you,
Oh brother of mine.
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
I will do it grandfather,
Wilt to wood and end.
And the river got frozen,
And the hole got snowed in,
And near the moon glow ride,
Till the morning light.
Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
In the quivering forest,
Where the shivering dog rests,
I will do it grandfather,
Wilt to wood and end.
And the river got frozen,
And the hole got snowed in,
And near the moon glow ride,
Till the morning light.
Terrible am I child?
Even if you don't mind,
No.
Light up.

Song of the day
Oh, I need a witness
To see the mess I’ve made
There’s a broken lampshade
Ashtrays
Burnt floors
Beds unmade
Are you sleeping? If you are,
Do you dream of what I’m doing?
To you, undo you
I’m through with you
Until I need a round of--
Every time I spend myself
It never runs too low
I can’t escape my need for
Sex and violence
Never let you see them
Hand in hand
And one is just the other
The softest touch is
Deeper than the ocean
Give it to me faster
Feel it, feel it
Sex and violence
Ooh it’s gonna make you cry
Oh, I was a real man
Stealing all their trade
I was strong and self-made
Well-paid
So groomed
Persuasive
You were walking home that night
Too kind to be elusive
Where do you live?
What’ll you give?
Who are you with?
And how you getting home?
Does anybody know right now
Exactly where you are?
A step inside’s a step too far
Sex and violence
Never let you see them
Hand in hand
And one is just the other
The softest touch is
Deeper than the ocean
Give it to me faster
Feel it, feel it
Sex and violence
Ooh it’s gonna make you cry
Sex and violence
Hit me with a love that
Burns so bright
And one is just the other
The sweetest taste is
Never gonna leave you
Even when it hurts you
Breathe in, breathe in
Sex and violence
Ooh, it’s gonna make you cry

Victim of the insane
People say we got it made
Don't they know we're so afraid?
Isolation
We're afraid to be alone
Everybody got to have a home
Isolation
Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation
The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down
Isolation
I don't expect you to understand
After you've caused so much pain
But then again, you're not to blame
You're just a human, a victim of the insane
We're afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun
Isolation
The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years
Isolation
Don't they know we're so afraid?
Isolation
We're afraid to be alone
Everybody got to have a home
Isolation
Just a boy and a little girl
Trying to change the whole wide world
Isolation
The world is just a little town
Everybody trying to put us down
Isolation
I don't expect you to understand
After you've caused so much pain
But then again, you're not to blame
You're just a human, a victim of the insane
We're afraid of everyone
Afraid of the sun
Isolation
The sun will never disappear
But the world may not have many years
Isolation

Heroes!
We are not children any moreThe fists you made they are come bashing at your doorYour legacy is waiting in the wings and there's somethingSo familiar in the hunger that we bring
We don't want to be like youDon't want to live like youLearn by our own mistakes, thank youForcing time and pushing through
You are not our heroes anymore
Dim the lights the time is comeInto the ring the father and the sonSown in sweat and passion long agoAnd now the blood on our hands is the same as our ownAnd the man has the skill and the man has the powerBut the boy has the will to win and so much time
You are not our heroes anymore
If you knew then what you know now to be trueYou never would have startedThis whole chain we're going throughAnd you love us now but you hate us stillAnd we hate you now but we love you still
You are not our heroes anymoreYou are not my mother, you are not my fatherYou are not our heroes anymore
We don't want to be like youDon't want to live like youLearn by our own mistakes, thank youForcing time and pushing through
You are not our heroes anymore
Dim the lights the time is comeInto the ring the father and the sonSown in sweat and passion long agoAnd now the blood on our hands is the same as our ownAnd the man has the skill and the man has the powerBut the boy has the will to win and so much time
You are not our heroes anymore
If you knew then what you know now to be trueYou never would have startedThis whole chain we're going throughAnd you love us now but you hate us stillAnd we hate you now but we love you still
You are not our heroes anymoreYou are not my mother, you are not my fatherYou are not our heroes anymore

Description:
Calling all comas
Prisoner on the loose
Description:
A spitting image of me
Except for the heart-shaped hole where the hope runs out
Shock me awake
Tear me apart
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown
Prison of sleep
Deepened now
A rabbit hole never to be found
. . . Again
Where are you hiding, my love?
Cast off like a stone
Feelings raw and exposed when I'm out of control
Pieces were stolen from me
But dare I say, given away
Watching the water give in
As I go down the drain
I appear missing now
I go missing
No longer exist
One day I hope
I'm someone you'd met
Shock me awake
Tear me apart
Pinned like a note in a hospital gown
Deeper I sleep
Further down
A rabbit hole never to be found
It's only falling in love
Because you hit the ground

some lose all soul and become mind, intellectual.
some lose both and become accepted”
